Abstract
Conditions are described for the preparation of the dihydro (2 and 6) and tetrahydro derivatives (3, 5 and 7) of 18-hydroxy-11-deoxycortisterone (1a) by microbial transformations using Clostridium parapurificum and chemical methods. The products were fully characterized and degraded into their respective 20 → 18 etiolactones. Microbial and chemical reductions of the Δ4-3-ketolactone 8 are presented.
